After sending Zhu Yunxi away, Zhu Xuan's life returned to dullness.
But not long after things calmed down, it was time to talk about marriage.
The people from the Ministry of Rites went to Qin Tianjian and calculated Zhu Xuan's birthday and Mu Yuanjun's birthday, and finally selected a suitable day and arranged for them to get married.
The betrothal gifts have been sent to the Mu family.
On this day, Mu Sheng was at home, wearing court clothes, waiting quietly.
Mu Yuanjun also stayed at home obediently and stopped wandering around recently, waiting for the final announcement from the palace. It was almost noon when the Minister of Rites came to Mu's house to read out the imperial edict from the palace.
The news that Mu Yuanjun was the grandson's concubine instantly spread throughout the powerful circles in the capital.
Now she is the grand concubine, and in the future she will be the queen. Her status has been greatly improved. Some people are amazed, and some are envious.
Mu Yuanjun still felt a little uncomfortable with all kinds of honors falling on him, but in the end he slowly accepted everything.
On this day, shortly after the people from the Ministry of Rites left, various nobles came to visit Mu Sheng one after another. Their arrival conveyed an obvious message. In order to curry favor with the Mu family, it would be best if the relationship between the two parties could be further improved.
Mu Sheng refused all the ones he could. Those who couldn't refused had to let them come in and sit for a while, but he never dared to accept the gifts. As a relative, he was already very sensitive. In addition, he was the Duke of the country guarding the southwest. , cannot do anything special.
Mu's house was bustling with activity.
Mu Sheng even felt flattered.
However, Mu Yuanjun is very happy and looks forward to entering the palace and being with Zhu Xuan forever.
At this time, Zhu Xuan learned that people from the Ministry of Rites had sent the imperial edict to the Mu family and also sent betrothal gifts. He was absent-minded all day long and wanted to leave the palace to see how Sister Yuanjun and the others were doing.
"My dear grandson, do you want to leave the palace?"
Zhu Yuanzhang could tell at a glance what his grandson was thinking.
Zhu Xuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, thinking that Grandpa Huang was still very powerful, which showed what he wanted to do.
I went to deliver the edict today, but I couldn't help but want to see my little wife.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "We can arrange the marriage right away. My dear grandson can just wait a few days. According to the rules, we cannot meet casually before the wedding. You can stay in the palace with peace of mind these few days and show us the memorial. I know Yet?"
"My grandson understands."
Zhu Xuan had no choice but to put all his thoughts aside for the time being, and said, "Grandpa Huang, after my grandson gets married, when will he marry Sister Miaojin and the others?"
"I just married one, my dear grandson is so quick, and I already thought of the next few?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a laugh.
After hearing this, Zhu Xuan was a little embarrassed, because he was really thinking of the next few.
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "But it's normal for my good grandson to think like this! It's best to think like this. In the future, it will spread the branches and leaves of our family. Not bad, not bad!"
Zhu Xuan said sheepishly: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is still young."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said: "You are no longer young. You are thinking about marrying more people. How dare you tell me that you are young? My dear grandson is not honest anymore."
After hearing what his good grandson said, he couldn't help but laughed again.
Zhu Xuan thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
However, Grandpa Huang's words were so direct that he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Don't worry, my dear grandson! We are still here, and we will arrange your marriage well so that you will not feel wronged, nor will our grandson-in-law feel wronged."
Zhu Yuanzhang said again.
Zhu Xuan said: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"
"only……"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while and said: "In the future, if we are no longer here, if you want to find a wife, you must think carefully. You can't be greedy for beauty. You must marry a virtuous wife, not a lustful wife! Those little wives you have outside, if it weren't for us We have checked them all carefully to make sure there are no problems, and we will not allow them to enter Yingtian Mansion."
The only person who checked it out was Cen Hua.
Zhu Xuan understood that what the emperor was talking about was about Cen Hua. Only this girl was found by Zhu Xuan outside and was not the daughter of a court minister.
"My grandson understands."
Zhu Xuan said softly: "Hua'er, she is actually quite good. My grandson is not looking for a wife just randomly. Of course he will consider it carefully."
"That's good."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction: "We won't be able to control your affairs in the future. You are really getting older."
Zhu Xuan said softly: "Grandpa Huang is here again. Will he say some unlucky words next?"
Seeing that his good grandson had predicted his prediction, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, but it was okay not to say anything unlucky. It was not the first time he felt this way, as long as his good grandson was still around.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the best thing he could do in his life was to train Zhu Xuan and become the most qualified heir.
——
Beiping.
Zhu Gaosui was finally back and could stay away from that place that made him fearful.
I am really worried. After staying in Yingtian for a long time, I will be asked too many things. If I accidentally reveal their secrets in Peking, it will be a devastating blow to their brothers. .
"Third brother!"
When Zhu Gaojiu heard that Zhu Gaosui was back, he was so excited that he walked out of the city gate to greet him.
When Zhu Gaosui saw his second brother coming to greet him, he was naturally happy and walked over quickly.
"Is there anything special happening in Yingtian?"
Zhu Gaoxu asked immediately.
Zhu Gaosui was about to speak, but it was not suitable to speak outside, so he suppressed what was in his heart and said, "Let's get to the carriage."
"How can a carriage be as exciting as riding a horse?"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head.
But Zhu Gaosui insisted on getting on the carriage, and he could only go with him to the carriage that Zhu Gaosui returned from Peiping.
As soon as he came up, he heard Zhu Gaosui say: "Second brother, hurry up and secretly arrange for someone to go back, release the eldest brother, and let the eldest brother come out to welcome me back."
Zhu Gaoxu asked: "Why do you do this?"
Zhu Gaosui said: "Second brother, don't make any noise for now. Just do as I said. I will explain to you when I get back."
Seeing Lao San's solemn expression and thinking that Lao San had come back from Yingtian, he might know some inside story or something special had happened. He didn't dare not pay attention to it and quickly arranged for someone to do so.
"We'll talk about it when we get home."
Zhu Gaojiu saw that Zhu Gaojiu was hesitant to speak and wanted to ask questions, so he immediately interrupted.
Zhu Gaoxu could tell that something must have happened in Yingtian, so he shut up appropriately, but there were some things he wanted to say but couldn't say, and he felt uncomfortable holding them in, so he had to hold them back like this for now.
They quickly returned to the outside of Prince Yan's Mansion.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi had been released.
There were several guards following him, the guards arranged by Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaochi was standing outside the gate. When he saw the carriage coming back from afar, he had to go over to greet it somewhat hypocritically. He didn't want to do this, but he was controlled by his two brothers and had to do it.
Thinking of being placed under house arrest under the control of his younger brother, he sighed helplessly.
